My areas of expertise
“My clients can rely on my critical and strategic mindset to guide their thinking beyond their usual context and to create new opportunities to gain visibility.”
​
- Florence Maniquet -
Driven by my natural curiosity and my appetite for new challenges, I have had the opportunity to work in different sectors and types of organizations since the start of my career.
​
The food and retail sectors
They are the sectors for which my expertise is the broadest. I worked for six years at Delhaize Belgium and Luxembourg as Communication Manager and spokesperson before joining Nestlé Belgium and Luxembourg where I spent five years, including two years as Head of Corporate Communication. I also carried out two 12+ months missions inlcuding one as Communications Director at the Federation of the Belgian Food Industry (Fevia) and worked for other food clients.
These sectors, with their central role in the lives of citizens and the health of the planet, have allowed me to address a number of different subjects: innovation, food policy, nutrition, health, environment, human rights, competition, employment , sale.
From an industrial point of view
On top of my missons for the mlargest industrial sector of Belgium, Fevia, I worked for 5 years in the automotive sector for the Japanese tire producer Bridgestone-Firestone Europe and carried out a 9-month mission for the European Candle Manufacturers Association (ECMA) .
Other sectors
I worked for several years in the banking sector (Dexia-ING) and then in the associative sector for the European Greenways Association, a European lobby active in the development of soft mobility networks.
